Hi Jimbo,
We've touched base on a few things you're already working on, and i don't know if you've already looked into some of these others, but a few key items that came to my attention over the past months were the possible failure of the stemhead/hull attachment, waterlogged floatation, centerboard up/downhaul issues, loose cleats, jib sheet track - blocks and cam-cleats failures to name a few.
A discovery I made while researching material on this site (which has tons of useful archive information, and truly amazing helpful members) was the built in search engine was woefully inadequate. Another tip from the experts here, taught me to use my google (or other) search engine to find information here using the "site:" search command (from google in my case) site:daysailer.org "jib sheet" will find dozens of postings on this site on that topic.
Just a few items and tips to consider.
if you have interest in an item, but can't find what your looking for, feel free to ask and someone here will help you find the material.
thanks - Scott
